At 2:38, once the passacaglia section starts, it really takes on a life of its own and is pretty much an education in how to build a track from nothing to something massive. You’ll also hear a bunch of lush and more adventurous tonal harmony here that you would never hear in most film music today.

I love it. I am a big fan of old british horror films from the Hammer, Amicus and Tigon studios.

Terrific, haunting music.

Anybody know any other cool ones that we might not have heard? I am not talking about Star Wars, You Only Live Twice or other massively famous ones here etc…

Hi Revturkey…I’m a big fan of Brit Horror too and grew up watching all those Hammer and Amicus horror films on late night TV. James Bernard’s contribution to Hammer was immeasurable and the same goes for Douglas Gamley for Amicus. I also love Harry Robinson’s music for Hammer (Twins of Evil etc) and Hammer had some great composers for their movies.

Huge fan of Miklos Rozsa….here’s one of his Main Title themes on YouTube. Just love those low resonating trombones!!

As well as the great film composers (we all know who they are) there are those lesser known ones who occasionally came up with a classic score. Russell Garcia’s score to the original movie of “The Time Machine” is a particular favourite of mine…

Ok you probably heard most of these but here’re some that I love to listen when lying in bed, relaxing, just staring at the ceiling, you know…

Resignation from “Monster’s Ball” : LISTEN
I’m Listening from “I Am Legend” : LISTEN
